Day 1 – Finishing Brochures


 
In math we continued our data management unit. Students reviewed mean, median, mode, and bias in survey questions. They learned about primary and secondary data. Ask your child to explain the difference between primary and secondary data and what makes a survey question unbiased. Everyone has completed and corrected p. 98 – 100 of their MMS 7 books in class. This means there is no math homework today.

After math students worked on their developing country brochure. Students were challenged to complete the brochure and email it to me before going out for recess. Some students managed to accomplish this. Some students want to print their brochures out in colour. Please have this done in time for tomorrow’s tea party for the countries’ ambassadors.

Next we worked on our science fair projects. Students who have completed the testing and building phase are working on writing up their procedure. These students got to go to gym class. Those who are behind with their work missed gym class in an effort to get caught up. This project will be prioritised this week as the science fair takes place next week, Thursday, November 30. Judging will be completed by 2:30 pm. At this time we welcome families to visit the school and see all the science fair projects from students in JK to Grade 8.

Students attended French, music, and gym class today.

Scholastic orders are due on Friday.
